  • ... that one music critic said that despite being "noisy, banal, fundamentally insincere", Dmitri Shostakovich's symphonic poem October was nonetheless "enjoyable trash"? Source: "It doesn't sound promising, and surely "October" seems a parody of Shostakovich's "public" image—noisy, banal, fundamentally insincere—but it takes such a great composer to write such enjoyable trash."

@CurryTime7-24: Ref "Shostakovich, pp. 275–276." points to no source. Please check. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 19:40, 15 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

It should be fixed now! :) —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 00:29, 16 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Any reason why this isn't at October (poem)? This currently links to Frost, but the actual poem isn't even mentioned in the bio. As this poem has an article, would it be fair to say it is more notable than Frost's? (With a potential hatnote?) Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 20:34, 15 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Or, potentially October (symphonic poem). Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 20:35, 15 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
October (poem) would be potentially misleading as Shostakovich’s October isn’t really a "poem" according to the general understanding of that term. However, I’ll make a redirect at October (symphonic poem) right now. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 00:32, 16 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
